Eyes Wide Open

Eyes Wide Open: The Human Cost of War, an exhibit created by the American Friends Committee, is a living memorial to the military personnel and civilians killed in Iraq - and a stark reminder of the human cost of war.

 

It first opened in January 2004 with over 500 pairs of boots. Three years later, this memorial day weekend, over 3,400 pairs are included to represent the dead soldiers (3434 when I was there today).

 

It's a very powerful exhibit to say the least.
